If you find something here that helps you live a better life (music, film, tech, how to, code, artwork, design ideas, gig advice, etc...) and you'd like to reciprocate, please consider buying some of my music or my feature film (or just slip me some cash using the "donate" button)!

Watch Porn

I tend to get “precious” with cool things I find on the web… like if I tell people about it, there will be less for me (as if I can actually afford to “buy things”). I’m trying to overcome this irrational psychosis by sharing things here… with you… right now.

Here is one of my most favoritest things. A couple of years ago I had a bit of an E-bay addiction (my wife has since beaten coaxed it out of me) --mostly chairs and sundry mid-century modern coolness, but the disease did net me a few wicked cool watches. The time pieces I purchased were from a guy calling himself Watchismo. Watchismo has since become an online store. It is my porn.

Here are some examples (click to go to their pages):

The ones I bought way back when? From the Watchismo online museum:

1970’s Zeno Green Jump Hour (wind)My Zeno actually seems to be in better condition than the one pictured above… it was new old stock… and I don’t think I paid anywhere near what it’s listed for on the Watchismo site.
